On the other hand, the men who do everything possible to avoid being chivalrous, end up bitter and angry. They go out of their way to be disrespectful to women, and at some point of time, date a woman who’s given up on her romantic standards and treat her like crap until she either resigns into a life of sadness or leaves him for someone better.

[Read: Why dating tips and advice never work for some people] Chivalry is dead only if you let it die Women, hold on to your standards and believe in your fairytale romance.

These guys then expect all women to be that easy to get, and get annoyed when any woman expects him to treat her with respect.

And thus, the life and death of chivalry starts a whole new cycle of confusion between the sexes.

Men absolutely want everything in the easiest way possible. And a guy feels good about himself when the girl he’s with depends on him for her safety and happiness.

They don’t like trying hard, and yet, they don’t respect anything they get easily. While most men hate the whole act of chivalry, what they don’t understand is that they’re making the whole experience of dating a lot less romantic and fun by underplaying chivalry or killing it off completely.

It’s complicated and confusing, and yet to the ones that understand it, it can make life and romance so much better.

In fact, I’ve seen guys who hold a door open for me, and suddenly realize how chivalrous they’re being, and leave the door on my face while mumbling a low apology for being chivalrous in the first place!
